Seeing these pics has inspired me to actually finish the one I'm making! I finished knitting the hat, then knit the pink part of one ear, and it looked AWFUL. I got so frustrated with that stupid ear that I stopped knitting it for awhile. I think I did a bad job on my decreases, actually, so it's totally fixable.

Thanks for the inspiration (and the adorable pattern)! My friend's daughter will look gorgeous in this for Easter!

Hi! This is my first post to Craftster, but I've been reading it off and on for a while. Anyway, I'm making this adorable hat for my best friend's new baby boy (in tan with pink ears) and I have one or two questions.

I've got all the knitting done, and I'm on to the finishing. I've never blocked anything before (I'm really good at getting around it) so how should I go about blocking the ears? Also, I don't really feel like shelling out $10 for the yarn for the face, so what else could I embroider it with? Any recommendations?
